For the past 4 weeks we have been exploring different kinds of foods and how scientists group those foods according to how they are similar in origin or nutrients.  The students have been researching, drawing, writing, and talking about the different kinds of foods and how they are sorted.  We created posters together to show our learning.

First, we shared a book about a certain kind of food or grouping of food.  Then we researched the group of food (such as fruit) individually or in pairs, drawing and writing the ideas we found which we wanted to share with others.  We shared those in small groups, then in the larger group.  Our written and drawn ideas became part of a poster, and we developed one BIG idea to write on the poster.  Here are some pictures of our work:

We will continue our nutritionist study on Monday!  Have a happy three day weekend!
